"In the mortality data that has been provided to us, there has been no child under 15 that has succumbed to the virus in Europe," White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator Dr Deborah Birx told reporters at a news conference here.
"So, we see that there is less severity in children and so that should be reassuring to the moms and dads out there," Dr Brix said.
"To generation Z and to my millennial colleagues who have been really at the forefront of many of these responses less than 1 per cent of all of the mortality is less than 50 and so this is I think also a very important point," she said.
That doesn't mean that individuals will have the severe disease so still 99 per cent of all of the mortality coming out of Europe, in general, is over 50 and with pre-existing conditions, she added.
